Re: Currently Listening

I thought Michael Stolt's gravelly voice worked well. I think there's a Roger Waters thing type going on with this album, its musically sparse but I still find it interesting. I guess its an aquired taste!

f*ck yeah, RPI! Currently A Helmet of Gnats (jazz/prog fusion kind of thing from the US), but I'm gonna go on a huge RPI binge starting next week when I get to Rome. I think it'll be fitting. What do you think I should start with? I have a list of old (meaning bands I'm familiar with) and new (meaning bands I haven't listened to much/at all).

Re: Currently Listening

If you mean "A.D. 2010 La Buona Novella Opera Apocrifa", than not yet. I once had both Fabrizio de Andre/ PFM on my computer and liked them. Though they're not at the top of my wantlist.So, I'm still a bit reluctant towards this "new" one. But I know for sure it'll find its way into my collection someday

I have the Locanda Delle Fate album coming my way. I sold my Polydor release and will get the Korean SiWan release instead.The Polydor release has very strange stereo panning which isn't to be found on the SiWan release. SOunds like a totally different album! (I compared samples)

New Trolls are one of the few I've never tried... what else do they have that's good besides Concert Grosso?

I have to confess, I didn't like much of the rest. Though Searching fo a Land is rated higher, I couldn't get into it. Something to do with the vocals I guess.Perhaps I'm a bit biased, "Concerto Grosso I" (Luis Enriquez Bacalov) was used in the Giallo/ Thriller "La Vittima Designata", a very fine one with Tomas Milian. Later the music appeared again (on LP!! ) in the classic Di Leo Crime film "Milano Calibro 9" , which also uses music by Osanna (also composed by Bacalov)This connection to Italian Genre film makes it more interesting to me.Another Bacalov connection, and perhaps the best, thogh not movie related, would be Il Rovescio Della Medaglia - Contaminazione. A great example of how to combine Classical and Rock music and succeed.
